While Carlisle IS closeted with Fairchild
and the President tor the purpose of
formulating tariff policy for the future
use of the free trade wing of the demo-
cratic party, George Fl. Thobe who claims
Carlisle's seat in Congress has filled
evidence for contestng the Ex-Speaker's
claims. which shows that Carlisle was
defeated by decided majority. 1t now
remains a question wherther democratic
House will permit him to take his seat,
elect him Speaker and give him the pow
err to appoint the committee on election
which is to hear and decide upon his own
contest, involving the validity OF the title
OF his seat With the same propriety
might criminal at the bar request of the
court the right to select the jury to try
him for the crime for which he is ar
raigned. No man since the foundation of
the government has been elected Speaker
of the House whose title to his seat was
challenged by a contest, by testimony
taken according to law, and which is I'M
contradicted. It remains to be seen what
the Lth Congress will do in this extraord
mary case. General Sypher. who is
counsel for Mr.. Thobe. promises to push
the case to the utmost.

The democratic collector of the post OF
Chicago, removed without cause appraiser
Webster a republican. Mr.. Webster was
an honorably discharged wounded soldier
who passed the civil-service reform exam
nation with an average of 90.5 per cent.
was absolutely appointed to office after
his probationary term had satisfactorily
demonstrated his conduct and capacity,
was afterwards promoted for faithful and
efficient service. and was never guilty of
partisanship, offensive or otherwise. When
removed Mr.. Webster called for the cause
and failing 70 gain satisfactory reply, de-
manded an investigation by the civil service
commission. The commission with the
exception of MIR. Edgerton, decided against
the Collector and in accordance with the
views presented by the Civil Service Re-
form League of Chicago which investi
gated the case. The New Y ork Post com.
menting upon the decision says:
ave trust that the President will follow in
this case the precedent which he set in the
indianapolis case and sustain the finding OF
the majority of the Commission. without re-
gard to the fact that while in the indianapolis
case the report was in favor of the accused of
fetal in this case il against him. Ii would
be difficult to find a more brszen defiance of
the Civil Service Law than the Chicago Col
lector has committed. He has not merely
demanded. without cause, the resignation OF
an incumbent, but of 'Sn incumbent who oh,
tanned his office through civil-service exam
nations and in strict accordance with civil
service regulations, and who, in the perform
ance of his duties. has shown himself in every
way efficient and faithful If such an incum-
bent can be removed without cause or without
specified reason. there is no protection for any
official against similar fate. The law might
as well be nullified IN toto at once, for if the
view which Mr.. Edgerton and the Chicago
Collector attempt to take of i; is allowed &c
prevail, 1t is not worth the paper it is printed
upop."

Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, who has been
vigorously denouncing the convict lease
system of that State, has been intimately
connected with the system, having made
most Of his money out of convict leases.
The Iowa democrats in their platform
declare Federal officials no longer
neglect their duties for the manipulation
of party politics." This declaration need
occasion no surprise. Its only an illustra-

Grew I'D in Texas.

Hon. Geoge Dilley, of Texas, says The
NeU Yor5 Graphic. is good example
of the success which sometimes comes
to the young fellow who in the early
days followed Horace Greeley s advice
and went west 20 grow up with the
country. He started west and south
west with hardly money enough to pay
his fare. struck into hard work on rail-
roads and machine-shops, founded a
little place of his own to make castings
in a Texas prairie town, and fought
fortune bravely until he became one of
the most prosperous business men in the
state. Last year bought pretty little
island on Lake George from the state
of New York, has built nice summer
house on it. put his own steam-yacht
on the lake, and goes up there now to
see that all is ready for the reception
of his family from the Rio Grande
frontier. He is largely interested in
every scheme for the progress and
development of his adopted state. is
regent of the Texas state :univers ty,
and if any man could overcome the
phenomenal democratic majority OF
Texas in race for governor. George
Nj. Dilley would be tnat man. But he is
not a politician. and loves the easy ways
OF life in these later days.

Small Beginnings,

Great results frequently spring from
small and even Insignificant beginnings.
A tiny spark may kindle a vast fire.
That powerful oak which stands like a
prissant monarch in the forest, was once
an acorn dropped by scared pigeon.
The mighty Mississippi river sweeping
so majestically onward to the gulf OF
Mexico, is but little crystal rill at its
source, OOZlng out of a few rocks at q
hillside. A solitary fort to repel the
attacks of the savage aborigines. first
marked the site where commercial
emporium. city Of wealth and fashion.
now raises its whIte-washed walls.
One little word! Did you ever esti-
mate its power for good or evil? 1t has
been productive of lifelong misery;
or perhaps it has laid the cornerstone
of u lifetime of happiness. One word
may have sundered the strongest ties of
friendship, or else, counted heart-cords
in the most undying affection.
Even a wink or 4 smile, Il significant
look or a meaning gesture of the hand.
has been the signal of life or death 10
many an individual.
In like manner. the moral character
life Of happinss and usefulness. or an
existence of the darkest misery and woe
to multitudeS of men and women, has
been the results of good or evil indulg.
ed in. Many hundreds of unfortunate
people have looked back from the depths
of shame and degradation at the one
lie act or deviation from the rirht
which paved the way to ruin or down
fall As they had sown, so they were
obliged to reap.
Keep an eve on the small beginnings.

was gay and had sown an immense crop
of wild oats. He sent her the most ex-

accept. Scores of influential friends
tried to hel p on his cause and the
most skinful female diplOmalists tried
to induce her to discard the Young man,
who had nothing and no friends but

exception, did everything TO induce
her TO prefer the rich suitor. Young
rs she was, and with all society max

gave up every luxury and fascination
that women are supposed TO hold
dear-and married the man of her
choice. And she is happy-f far happier
than many who are "in the swim
When someone said To her: WHY
did you make the choice YOU did? Why

Travelling on the Continent.

Railroads on the continent are par
ticularly accommodating to their pat
rons in regard to starting and stop
ping, writes correspondent of The
Baltimore american. 1t is not uncom-
mon for conductor of train. If he
receives fee, to allow the train 10
wait minute or so longer for pas
senger, if that person desires to remain
minute or so longer at his lunch. or
say a word or two more of farewell to
friend; but, perhaps, thing which
has caused much worry and veXation to
the American traveller is the wav the
people of southern France regulate
their clocks to suit the travelling pub
lie. At a hotel, clocks are never right.
They are five, ten or fifteen minutes
fast, according to the distance to the
depot. When train is advertised to
leave at 10 o clock, if you leave your
hotel when the clocks at the hotel point
10. then you will reach the station lust
as the clock on the outside registers 10
o'clock. You take your time. because,
when YOU 60 inside, you will see the
clock in the waiting-room 10 clock
Five minutes later the hands on the
clock on the platform arrive at II. and
off YOU 90. This is explained BY the
statement that people never start for
place until the time set. because thew
understand the clock system. But it
is extremely exasperating to one who
does not understand. and leaves his
hotel in time to get there by 10 o'clock,
to find when he arrives at the depot he
has gained time, and continues to gain
the nearer he gets to the train, and
finally when he arrives on the platform,
finds he has travelled quite distance,
